This was not the last time Ch. 40 would run ABC's and CBS's newscasts
back-to-back. In the '70s it ran ABC at 6 and CBS at 6:30. Another
dual CBS/ABC affiliate in South Carolina, WBTW Florence-Myrtle Beach,
did essentially the same thing, airing ABC at 6, local news at 6:30, and
CBS at 7, although by the time ABC started "World News Tonight" it
had local news at 6, ABC at 6:30, CBS at 7. The debut of an ABC
affiliate in the Pee Dee region, WPDE, put an end to this in the early
'80s.
 
And in the beginning, the old WHDH-5 in Boston (an ABC affiliate through December 31st, 1960) carried both the NBC "Huntley Brinkley Report" and the CBS "Evening News" (Douglas Edwards), neither of which was cleared by WBZ-4 or WNAC-7 respectively.

ABC's own network newscast, anchored by John Charles Daly (except for a time in 1958-59 when Don Goddard was at the anchor desk when ABC moved Daly to a short-lived newscast running Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays from 10:30-10:45 P.M. ET and on Wednesdays from either 10:45 or the end of the live boxing match until 11 P.M. ET), wasn't cleared on WHDH during it's run as an ABC affiliate.

The station continued to carry Edwards through a "secondary affiliation" arrangement until the change to a CBS affiliation on January 1st, 1961 and continued to carry the newscast after that.

Ironically, ABC's evening newscast finally got a Boston clearance when WNAC became the ABC affiliate, but by this time, Daly had left the network and Bill Shadel had succeeded him.
